Little Indian Restaurant

Little Indian Restaurant is a small family-run Indian kitchen on Al Mina Road opposite the Mirage Hotel in Al Aqah, within walking distance of the Rotana stretch of the beach and the cluster of resort properties along this coast. The room is unassuming and casual, the kind of neighbourhood spot that suits a relaxed dinner after a beach day rather than a destination meal. The menu covers familiar Indian ground: a full range of North and South Indian dishes, biryanis, curries, tandoori grills, dosas and a solid vegetarian line. Food is cooked to order, portions are generous, and prices sit comfortably below the neighbouring resort dining rooms. The kitchen handles spice levels on request and the dhal and tandoori plates are reliable orders for sharing. Service is friendly rather than polished, with a floor team that keeps pace during busy evenings and handles takeaway orders quickly for the many holiday renters and resort guests along this stretch. For an approachable, fairly priced Indian meal away from the hotel buffets - particularly useful for larger families or longer stays where another resort dinner is one too many - Little Indian is a practical and welcoming option.
